Wanted - instrument cluster

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted - instrument cluster

Post by dcwalker » Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:34 pm

Hi all

It's been a long while since I posted on here...

The odometer and trip meter on my 480 Celebration have stopped working. Speedometer and info centre are all working fine, so I presume speed sensor is OK and still sending its signal; I have been right along the wiring; all connections to instrument cluster are good, clean and tight - so I can only assume it is the toothgear has worn or something like that.

So, please does anyone have a working spare instrument cluster they'd like to sell? Must be compatible with 1995 2 litre (B20F), 60 litre fuel tank, green and grey connectors...

Hoping someone can help!

Thanks

Thanks for the advice Jim - do you happen to have a speedometer among your stores?

Hi Jim

Thanks for the heads-up about the cog. I like to think I am quite competent mechanically, and have had the speedo out of the instrument panel to check it over, but I am a bit wary of starting trying to replace cogs....

My mileage is 128,900 - and I would be very interested in a replacement speedo! I have sent you a PM.

Many thanks

David
